In the depths of the dark, whilst I lay alone in bed, lay a creature that I could only bare witness to in my nightmares. Silence was all I could hear, yet the tension that was held within these walls was too much to bate... I couldnt sleep... It had been a while since my sleep had been so disrupted, to the point in which I now lay in bed with a shallow breath, eyes wide and body paralysed, I was unable to move in fear. Thats when I hear it... pitter pitter pitter pitter The sound of tiny feet, scurrying across the many sheets of paper on my bedroom floor. I held my breath, shuddering as the pittering continued to a halt. I knee it was there... I knew it was waiting... I couldnt lie to myself anymore, it was there. It was lingering in the dark, waiting for me to be asleep and still... My hands traced up the many anonymous bite marks that had been scoured up my legs. Yes, it had been here before... And now it had returned, scheming another feast for itself. No, I cannot fall victim to it or my fears anymore! I had to get rid of that thing once and for all!! Slowly I rose from my bed, being sure to not make a sound... I had already sent out S.O.S signal to those in the house and those online, however since there was no reply, I can only assume they knew I was done for... Yes, I am alone, only I can do this!! I reached for the heavy ornament behind me, gripping the middle of it tightly one to make sure I had it, yet two because it assured me in a way, that I had the upper hand here. I crawled slowly across my bed, in which was a bunk bed. My sleeping sister lay asleep at the bottom... Damn, she was in danger to!! I stealthily climbed down my ladder and stood amidst the battlefield. It could sense my presence, I knew it. We were no standing for battle, though the war had already begun with a stare off with our eyes. We both waited for the signal.... ... FLICK! The light was switched on and the room was lit in a dazzling golden light! The battle had begun!! With the scurrying of tiny feet, it ran up to me. Pitterpitterpitterpitterpitterpitter- As I raised my weapon above my head, it halted. As the reality that I was going to win this fight dawned on it, it began to head for the darkness of the room again. Not if I can help it!! I ran for the it, this war ends today! SLAM! The ornament lander on it with a sickly thud and crunch. However my aim was off as I only got its one leg. It began limping backwards. No, there is no hope for you... SLAM I kept on striking at it. Each strike draining more and more life out of it. I wonder if it could scream, would it be letting out huge inhuman wails? Its legs twitched slightly until my final blow silenced it... The blood from it stained the paper it was now flattened upon, and the corner of my ornament shared this stain. I shakily picked up the paper and carried the corpse over to my bin, dropping the evidence down into a heap of week old rubbish. Then I dropped the ornament and flopped onto my sisters bed with a heavy sigh. It was for the sake of my legs, sleep and sanity, yet my head was filled with uncanny thoughts. I knew I was a murderer and that my hands will forever be stained with the acts of my misdeeds. Yet it was worth it, to get rid of that eight legged creature from the darkest pits of hell. So long arachnid.... Maybe now I will sleep I muttered as the sky at dusk was beginning to light up slightly... ~ A dorky short story called the adventures if an arachnophobe I made in tribute to the the bugger that still lingers in my room. That was the great adventure panned out in my mind and I failed, last I saw it, it climbed into my wallpaper and hopefully still lingers in the wallpaper. Spiders terrify me, so here is my nightmares in a short story, enjoy. (Please note that no spiders have been hurt in reality yet and I have no plans to kill pet spiders ect, what lingers in the dark can just keep to the dark though XD)
